I've been having a look at the specs.
STI = 115hp
Displacement 1995cc
K-jetronic
GTI = 130hp
Displacement 2165cc
L-jetronic
So that's common knowledge but I've been hearing a few things about the goodness of the STI.
For instance that installing the STI cam in a GTI engine makes it go much better.
And that a well tuned STI will outshine a GTI. This I now doubt but I'm willing to learn.
Then there's the complicated STI tuneup procedure which I would love to discuss with anyone willing to pass on any knowledge there. I have the full workshop manual which is pretty clear on how it's done though.
The main tools required are a vacuum gauge and a pressure gauge.
This is of course in honour of my newly acquired STI , the very beautiful and well loved Cecil .
